With all of the cruelty associated with industrial agricultural factory farming, I was encouraged to see that Quiznos is taking steps to stop buying pork from producers that use gestation crates — even though the phase-out won’t be implemented for several years, during which time millions of pigs will unnecessarily suffer. Still, it’s a step towards recognizing the public does not want to buy animal products that are inhumanely raised, and if you do eat meat, you should support businesses like Quiznos.
